Description

DK 180931 B1 1
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to collision avoidance system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a protection barrier configured to be flexible and straighten up again in the event of a collision without the intervention of a human or wind.
BACKGROUND Conventionally, numerous impact attenuation devices and collision avoidance systems have been used to prevent or reduce damage resulting from a collision between a moving vehicle and various hazards or obstacles. Prior impact attenuation devices and collision avoidance systems include various types of energy absorbing elements. The energy absorbing elements spread the energy of the collision across a wider area and so the force of the impact is reduced. A vehicle barrier is a type of collision avoidance system used to stop, disable, or destroy vehicles driven into the perimeter of a protected area. The barrier is a safety component that prevents vehicles from the passage into a dangerous area, commonly used to mitigate risk. These barriers are configured to provide safety, security, and protection to people and physical assets. Such barriers could be located at areas such as gate entrances and along perimeters between vehicle access points.
Mounting such barriers rely on inertia forces to absorb energy when material such as sand is accelerated during an impact. Other barriers include crushable elements. Such collision avoidance systems are installed to minimize the extent of personal injury as well as damage to an impacting vehicle and any structure or equipment associated with the hazard. However, the traditional solutions take neither sign nor plinth damage by light
DK 180931 B1 2 collision or attempted vandalism.
In addition, the traditional, embedded sign plinths are cumbersome and costly to replace in case of any damage.
A prior art, NL9102035 of Struyk Holding B.V., discloses a post structure, — which is to be used as a traffic guide, to protect an object, as a decorative post, as a lamp post or as a post to prevent something from falling over, comprises a foundation block, which is to be positioned in the ground and a post, which is connected thereto by resilient means.
To prevent the post from being moved by slight forces, there are preloading means in order to preload the resilient means.
Another prior art, WO 90/06411 of Aaberg, Arne et al., discloses an arrangement for securing a post to a foundation, especially a road sign, in which foundation has a vertical hole for receiving the root of the post, and fastening means for locking the post to the foundation.
The arrangement comprises a journal which is adapted to hole in foundation.
At one end of the journal rubber sleeve is provided and has the same or approximately the same cross-sectional dimension as journal.
To the end of journal, a threaded screw is secured to pass through sleeve and is intended to have a plate or the like with a threaded hole screwed onto it for axial compression of said rubber means, so that the latter expands radially towards the wall of the hole in the foundation.
However, the above-mentioned prior arts fail to disclose a protection barrier with a mounting bracket comprising four holes, which are formed in a predetermined spaced relationship at an upper end face of the plate as described in the appended claim 1. In the light of above-mentioned problems, there is a need for an alternative protection barrier configured to be flexible and straighten up again in the event of a — collision without the intervention of a human or wind.
DK 180931 B1 3
